Research integrity
At Notre Dame, our research community is built upon principles of integrity and respect for the dignity of every human person, which shape how we undertake our research and how we work with our partners.
The fundamental goal of all research is the pursuit of truth. In the pursuit of such truth, the University expects all researchers to adhere to the highest standards of intellectual honesty and integrity and to conduct all aspects of research responsibly and ethically and in accordance with the Objects of the University.
Research allows us to improve the lives of the broader community
Code of conduct
The University’s Code of Conduct for Research outlines the broad principles and responsibilities for the conduct of research at the University to support a culture of honest, ethical and conscientious research in accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.
Information regarding breaches and research misconduct can also be found in the code.
Institutional compliance
The export of controlled goods and technologies is legislated in Australia under Customs Act 1901 (Cth) controls tangible goods and Defence Trade Controls Act 2012 (DTCA) controls intangible goods.
The DTCA aims to ensure Australia’s national security and universities have a duty of compliance with the Act, which requires an institutional process and a compliance officer in place for approval of export of certain technologies overseas.
Compliance with the DTCA is a condition for receipt of research funding by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
